«Fox Company, 2nd Battalion of the 16th Infantry was the first unit in the 1st Division to take part in an offensive operation when Fox Company supported by Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, and George Company, 3rd Battalion supported by tanks from 1st Armored assaulted the Le Senia Airfield just south of Oran, Algeria. The 400 Americans killed 270 German soldiers and captured 700 of them without loss.»

Can’t be. There were no German troops in Oran, Algeria, only French troops. And the account of tank combats in Operation Torch 1942 under http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=97956 contains a different description of the attack:

«The Green Flying Column had maneuvered into position to attack La Senia at dawn in a coordinated attack with the Red Flying Column. The attack was. launched at 0745, and by 0840 the Green Flying Column had captured the airfield, taking 160 prisoners and some 3,000 gallons of gasoline.» — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cortagravatas (talk • contribs) 12:12, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
